Ok so heres my code:

Code:

---

//set the model you will be using for the spawned entity
string spawnEntity = "tornado.mdl";
//
//
//set the distance from the target entity you want to spawn to
var spawnDistance = 30;
//
//

action funnel
{
	my.invisible=on;
	//MOVEMENT CODE OF THE MODEL
}

function spawnTheThing()
{
   //get outta here if there aint no target entity in the game
   if(funnelEntity == NULL)
   {
      return;
   }

   //set temp to the vector of the target entity	
   vec_set(temp.x, funnelEntity);
   
   //this is the same idea used in a 3rd Person Camera
   //it will place the spawned entity behind the target entity
   //taking the rotation of the target entity into account
   temp.x = funnelEntity.x - spawnDistance * cos(funnelEntity.pan);
   temp.y = funnelEntity.y - spawnDistance * sin(funnelEntity.pan);
   
   //set spawnEntityAction to NULL if you do not want to asign it a function
   ent_create(spawnEntity,temp.x,tornado);
}

In WED, i place a little box model with the action "funnel" attached to it. In the properties box of the model, I also name it "funnelEntity".

I build, then run, then I get a lot of errors... and it crashes

thanks to help :S
